According to reports, many residents of No 57, Egerton Square Alakoro area of Lagos Island, are currently trapped as their building which had already been marked for demolition collapsed this afternoon.

The Punch reports that officials of the Lagos State Building Control Agency were demolishing another house beside the building when the incident happened.

The Director of the Lagos State Fire Service, Rasaki Musbau, who confirmed the incident, said firefighters from the Sari Iganmu division had been deployed in the area.
